Cedar Park Mountain Bike Trails

by LumberJack

www.texasoffroad.net

Most of us who enjoy riding dirt bikes also enjoy training and riding off road on our mountain bikes. For those of you who live in Cedar Park there is a election going on with early voting today May 2nd and tomorrow May 3rd. Election day is May 7th. It took me less than a minute to vote today. A few of us have been working with Maria Talamo for more than a couple of years. We are working towards building more hike and bike trails, and mountain bike trails (some extreme), and refining the BMX track at Milburn Park. The short term goal is to connect the Milburn Park area through the …

A short ride on the Armand Bayou loop

Wednesday, May 4, 2016, 5:30 PM

Bay Area Park
7500 Bay Area Blvd. Houston, TX

2 Cyclists Went

Only an 11 mile loop or so. I usually ride this on the hike/bike trail (this is asphalt) and the bike lane, so speeds are pretty limited. There’s really only one stretch that let’s you speed up at all, and that, of course, is where there is no shoulder at all on a high speed road with some traffic.Meet by the duck pond near the exit.

Day 22: Mesilla – El Paso: Dad’s last day biking
Saturday April 30, 2016
The ride today was lovely! We left the RV park at 6 and the cold made us both miserable, my fingers were numb and my toes were numb and dad was doing his under breath cursing thing. Then we came to the bridge over the Rio Grande and the sun was just coming over the jagged gothic mountains in the distance. I stopped to take a picture and I noticed 30-40 sparrows flying around. They would dive under the bridge and come up the other side. Fly out along the river and back, and made lots of circles around us. It was possibly the most beautiful things I’ve witnessed on this trip. We continued on through miles of Pecan groves, the ground beneath them was flooded with water and as the sun rose it’s golden light reflected on the waters. The branches of the trees hung over highway 28 and made it look like we were going through a tunnel of trees. We passed through small towns searching for an ope cafe to eat breakfast. 30 miles later we settled for an IHOP, the first thing we saw open. I was ravished and eating was a glorious affair. Food is such a sacred ritual on …
